Meanwhile Elise was watching Amanda on a screen from a recording that a secret camera insect like drone implanted on the walls of Amanda's palatial house, alongside Thomas as everything was going on and she warned both of them.Melissa and Selena pretended like they were not aware when they saw the black sedan of Amanda's guard trailing them through the tinted back window. The driver dropped them off at the gate and when they both entered, they hugged and went their separate ways.Selena went straight to the shower and washed off the monitoring spell that was made on her and continued her tasks. Elise was sitting in her own lounge turned office as she looked at the various case files before her. Bianca was able to pull off a detailed dossier on everyone except that Lucas Wainwright and she was at her wit’s end because of that.Anytime she thought about him, questions about who he was, his heritage and why he was so interested in her usually came up. She pondered about who the Shadow h
Gerald looked at his boss as they checked each file of possible criminals that could have stolen the Luna stone. Carl had overhead the conversation between Selena and Elise and was shocked when he was told that it happened the day before.“ Why does it have to be kept as a secret from me? Why should Elise even be keeping secrets from me? Have I not been a good enough mate Gerry ?” Carl asked Gerald soberly. “ You know it actually takes time for a woman who was not initially in love with her husband to grow in love. That is what it is, just give her time.” Gerald replied and rubbed his arms.Meanwhile Melissa and Selena were talking as they walked to a secret location sent by Amanda to prevent suspicions and gossip. As they arrived at what looked like a fancy restaurant, they were surprised to see Elvis dining with Amanda.Amanda thanked him for the dinner and gave him a sound kiss, before rubbing his back and escorting him out of the restaurant. She commanded the both of them to sit d
Ever since they got back from the honey moon, things had worsened between them. They had begun fighting again and she had a niggling feeling that he knew she was going out with someone else. She shrugged and knew that he did not really care either, she remembered how they fought on evening when she had asked for information needed to set up for the festival.“ You are my Luna, you are no longer the guardian. You have no right to such information.” he had said as he typed on his laptop. “Excuse me! I am a guardian by birth right. I still have the seal and I have every right to ensure that the festival goes well. I can never abandon Victor to all those duties.” she said as she paced and stared him down.“ I will never allow my mate to slave away under the guise of being a guardian. You are my mate, my Luna and nothing else. If your brother needs help, he can get an organizing committee.” Carl waved her off while she still stared at him with an incredulous look.“ You must be kidding me
Carl acknowledged his greeting and looked at his butler grimacing while Elise went to hold his hand and rubbed his thumb. He looked lifeless with a bandage wrapped around his chest and tubes and cords attached to every area in his body.“ where you able to get out all the mercury poisoning? I mean when was this mercury thing discovered.” Elise asked as she stood near the doctor. “ it was when we were trying to remove the bullets actually and we started noticing the black drops, but the good thing was that it was easily and quickly discovered, so he did not really need a transfusion.” the doctor explained as he pointed to the chest area.Elise and Carl heaved a sigh of relief and was led away by the doctor, she thanked the doctor and then called Sasha to keep an eye on him. Carl posted two body guards to watch the room. He really wanted to know why his butler was attacked and he knew where to get his answers.Elise called the driver as soon as she got out of the hospital, assuring him

Thank you!!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The night seemed so holy without blemish as cool and smooth breeze creeped into the room, soothing my skin with every sense of humility. The dark sky was aglow with bright stars in their graceful positions, illuminating the earth, awake and sleepless. I was about to sleep but I realised I needed to bring in my clothings from the line outside. I quickly got out of my bed, went out, brought all in, and went back inside. Lying on my
Mr and Mrs Smith, my foster parents, and their awesome kids, Jayla and Mella, were such excellent people and a family to me which I never had; my stay with them was such a wonderful and pleasant one which I had always prayed and wished for since my parents left me at that very tender age I was, leaving me to my fate in life to God knows where. All alone. The thought of losing them has now become a very terrifying nightmare for me, and finding myself in this godforsaken place had become the worst of them all, abandoning me in shambles.The rustling of leaves and chirping of the night birds left me even more devastated. All hope was lost, no one to come to my aid, neither could I help myself. I wished I could. Life has become so cruel to me that I wished I could just put an end to it all right now.. I carefully looked around, searching for what I could help myself with but found none. The gulch was empty, totally dry of any aid."What a cruel world!" I cried out, reminiscing all my e
"A rogue..? No no no no noooo.. I-I-I'm not a r-rogue…" I quickly replied fumbling, as if I knew who or what a rogue was. "Please.. kindly forgive me, I'm so sorry…" I implored.My apologies kept spilling out from my mouth unending at the thought of that 'rogue', trying to explain myself. Suddenly, two other guys came out from nowhere, held me from behind and was just about rough handling me when a voice spoke, "Let her go!" I squirmed, trying to see who it was, but saw no one. They didn't let me. It didn't seem like that was going to be possible as their clasps on my arms were tightly fixed. "I said, release her… Right now! And I mean, now…!" Now the voice was close, I wheeled my head since that was the only part of me I could turn. It was that same girl.They quickly obeyed and pushed me against an erect but dead tree.I screeched. Not really because I was hurt, but because I felt I was going to die. I felt no pain of any sort.My upper lip tore open a bit by the side, with on
Few years down the line, now fully acclimatized with this new home environment of mine, I've now become a full grown teenager, almost leaving that stage for the life of adulthood.17years of age. The day was gradually going down and it became cold.. the type of coldness that reached into my bones, as if my heart was a door left wide open to the icy wind, slamming only to open again. The only thing to do was to keep being covered, as frost grew over the windows even as the duvet kept me warm a bit. I watched the ice-crystals grow and glow in the almost dark sky for a while, allowing my brain to be empty of any kind of worry, content to exist and be. "The morning would bring the beauty of the ice for sure, that crunch under boot and the bold greeting cold air brings." I encouraged myself as I watched the evening sun cast long shadows on the ground. The slanting rays of the setting sun gave a warm orange tinge to the sky.Gradually, all faded, and before I could process and understand
